"It is very unlikely we will see a caldera eruption

Is this just hopeful thinking or is there a scientific basses for the answer."

You got to parse that statement, anyone close enough to "see" that eruption won't live long enough to report about it.

Anyone who lives through the eruption will be to far away to actually "see" it.

If it goes the entire Midwest bread basket will be covered in ash. So if you don't die from breathing the ash and it turning into concrete in your lungs you will starve to death.
